I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that a friend of mine has an extra ticket to Game One of the Nippon Series at Chiba Marine Stadium.
The bad news is that I'll be in the stands with him, thus unable to broadcast that game as well.
So, the first broadcast will be Game Two on Sunday starting at 6:15 pm JST.

Westbay-san, that's wonderful that you get to go to the game. I'm hoping there will be some way to watch them over the net, but if not, having you broadcast some of the games is better than none! Have a great time at the game!
I thought it was really convenient that the Hawks and Lions, the two teams that had netcasts over Yahoo, were both in the PL Playoffs. It wrecked my sleep schedule last week, but it was totally worth it!

Good news. I just heard that the meeting at work scheduled for Wednesday afternoon has been postponed to Friday. That means that I'll be able to bring Wednesday's game to you live via the audiocast. If this Series goes four games, I'd like to have it recorded for posterity.
P.S. No, I had no influence over the rescheduling of the meeting. Was it another tora fan at work? Perhaps.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Both stadiums are open to the elements, so rain may throw the schedule off.
As is often the case, everything doesn't work out the way one would like. I'll have to go into Shinjuku twice next week for work, Tuesday and Wednesday, so there will be no broadcasts those days unless somebody volunteers to do it. The requirements are a bit more than for guest commentator, and I have very little time to help get anybody setup. So only someone who is really serious about wanting to try broadcasting should apply to the "live" mailing address. Let's hope that the Series goes more than four games.
I feel like I'm letting a lot of you down by not providing coverage of Games Three and Four, but work must come first. I ask for your understanding.
Nonetheless, I know that I'm looking forward to a very interesting Nippon Series. While there are many differences between these two teams (like 125 different starting lineups for Lotte while Hanshin's was pretty stable), both teams relied on getting runners on and moving them around over the long ball. With runners in scoring position, Hanshin hit .303 while Lotte hit .307 (second and first out of all 12 clubs respectively).
My impression of the two teams during the regular season has been that Hanshin is good at scoring first, while Lotte is a team that turns things around the second or third time through the order. This may be toughest on Lotte with JFK pitching the 7th, 8th, and 9th for the Tigers.
